AN EFFORT TO BE MADE TO PASS THE BILL PENDING
In CONGRESS.
Mr.. ROwell will make an effort at the meeting OF
the House District committee tomorrow to have
the District liquor license bill reported favorably
to the House. The committee has never taken
any adverse action upon the bill, and it is antici
pated that there will be no difficulty in getting
favorable report, so that it be acted on at the
next District day. At the last session. upon mo-
tiOn OF MI. ROwell Mr.. Compton was authorized to
report the bill favOrably to the House. Mr. ROwells
impression Is that there was no vote against the
complied with the Instructions OF the committee
Mr.. Compton moved that the committee recon-
slider their vote giving as his reason for the motion
that he had received several letters Opposing the
measure, and he wanted more time to consider it,
There was no vote upon this motion to reconsider
but the matter has been allowed in the press OF
business TO lie over with the vote pending. Mr.
ROweN will endeavOr to have the bill passed by the
House before this Congress expires.

DISCHARGES AT THE WASHINGTON NAVY YARD
Thirty mechanics were discharged from the ord
nance department OF the Washington navy yard.
1t is stated at the Navy department that the dis
mlssals were necessary because of lack of appro-
pr1ations and work. The funds for the ordnance
work OF The new cruisers Is not available, as the
material even is not yet prepared, while the ap-
preparation for the general ordnance work OF the
navy Is very small. The diSmiSSals, it is stated,
were made without any regard to the political
complexion of the employees, but the excellence
and character OF the work were the only matters
considered. The foreman Of the department had
nothing to do with the matter, as the discharges
were made upon the recommendation Of COmman-
der Mccormick, the inspector OF ordnance.

The report calls attention 20 the necessity OF
the adoption OF systems of water supply and
drainage for the area covered by these proposed
extensions 1t Is proposed to establish a pumping
station near the northwestern angle OF the new
reservoir, drawing directly from the basin, and
forcing the water through O thirty-inch main
along Grant street to Grant circle. At this
point the pipe win become vertical to height OF say
80 feet above the ground, or a total elevation OF
$50 feet above city datum. The main viii over
now into an envelOping cylinder 15 or 20 feet in
diameter, with fall to partially aerate the water
which win then be distributed by suitable supply
mains. The sewer system must, OF necessity, con-
form with the topography and in general follow
natural lines OF drainage The extended New Jersey
avenue will furnish one important route, and
others suggest themselves In their estimates for
small item OF saS 600 for @s,,hnrhan seweraces as
q beginning, and it is hoped that Congress Will
appreciate the importance OF the proposed work
and appropriate means for its investigation and
commencement.

editor. Mr.. L. c. Hughes, Is leading mining ex-
pert and personally familiar with the subject con-
corning which he writes. He says;
One of the best ey licences Of the future of these
mines is the fact that from the beginning the out.
put of bullion has paid for every dollars worth Of
development. Not dollar expended which has
not come out of the mines. And this means much,
for the mines have not been operated SO much to
take out ore as to ascertain from prospecting the
true merit of the mines. However, many thou
sands OF dollars were expended in dead work In
sinking prospect shafts, drifting, timbering and
tunneling to learn the extent, richness and per-
manency OF the ore lodes These facts have been
we'll determined. During these developments
nearly $4,000 of bullion has been produced by
these mines and under adverse conditions A
twenty or forty-stamp mill is what the district
needs. With the present management and such a
MILL the Tortilita mining district would be the
largest bullion producer in Arizona. The ore is
there. The water and wood are there In abund-
ance. Everything Is favorable to the working O.
these mines and the production of bullion"
SURROUNDED WITH ALL THE CONDITIONS
FOR SUCCESS.
The fact is the Tortiita mines are surrounded
with all the conditions necessary TO prosperous
mining camp. Add TO this the fact that the man
, agement is under d. 4. Elmore, an experienced
mining and mill man oftwenty years in the mines
and mills of the Pacific slope, especially in the
mines of Nevada. Thus the company is assured
against the plumbers and incompetency Of an in
experienced management, which has been the
cause of so many mining failures all over the
country. Mr.. Elmore knows every detail ncces-
sary to the successful management of mining
property which insures the best results from these
mines.
Regularly every month shipment of silver bull
lion has been made from these mines through the
Tucson bankers TO San Francisco. It is we'll

demonstrates the great value of this property
for, as all mining men know, this concentration
below the water level proves the permanently and
value of mine. The ore changes in character
and becomes richer. I could see thousands of
tons of ore in sight that only needs sufficient mill

HEATING CABS wITAouT srovEs.

The road upon which the most system
attic and careful work in the direction Of
abolishing car stoves has been done seems
to be the New York Central. Mr.. Bu-
chanan, the Superintendent of Motive
Power upon the road, says: "We believe
that we have now comparatively perfect
heating apparatus for our passenger cars,
safe, effectual and economical OF course
you will at once ask why we have been so
long about it. / can only say that while
experiments toward getting rid Of the car
stoves has been going on for some years,
It is only recently that something has
been offered to us which is wholly salts
factory. Last February we equipped five
cars on the Buffalo Division. The ap-
paratus is simplicity itself. The steam is
taken from the locomotive at reduced
pressure and is passed under the cars In a
main pipe from which branches enter
each car. AT tie car joint is regulator
by which the heat in that particular car
can be kept at any point. The coupler
between the cars is all metal, and con-
densation is provided for by system of
taps, which discharge any water auto
matically. The system is practically a
house warming apparatus, in which each
car represents room. There is no dan
ger of explosion, because the pressure
does not exceed ten pounds in the pipe,
and in case of collision or separation
Of the cars of train, the main supply
from the engine is, of course, cut Of.
AS to costs we cannot find that steam
taken for heating purposes cost us any,
thing. We are SO we'll satisfied that this
system is what we want that we have
equipped thirty cars, and have just given
orders to equip as many more at once.
BY Spring we shall not have car stove
on the road" One railroad man says
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will not have stove by the end of next
Winter, although no law In Pennsylvania
compels the change.

feel assured that in the future the Tortllia
mining camp will become one Of the largest on the
Pacific coast with the necessary machinery for
working the mines.
Driving back to Tucson, remained there a
short time, and found the Tortilita exciting more
attention than any other mining property in the
Territory. and there are some rich ones there.
For example, the Silver King, not far distant, has
paid 100000 $50 per shsre) In dividends from
one mine alone, while the Tortilita company has
twelve. The Raymat and vIkol. in another direo-
tIon, have turned out millions and made their
owners rich. as have the renowned Tombstones
and Quijotoa. The Tortilitas are on the tongue of
everybody, and Mr.. Elmore is looked for with bull
lion every month regularly as the month comes
round.
Before any further reference is made to the
mining properties briefly described above, 1t will
be proper to say something about tho personnel Of
the company into whose possession these mines
and their accessories have come for the readers
of the Post are always inquisitive concerning new
acquaintance. The TortilIta Gold and Silver

The two former arc good mines. The Desert has
peculiar formation, from which $4,000 has been
taken out, with two shafts of 100 to 100 feet and
the smoothest kind of walls. There Is nm uniimit-
cd quantity OF profitable ore In sight, aud many
believe this mine itself is worth the capital Of the
company. The Red Peach has probably hundred

from sixty to hundred feet deep

Of ore per day, at an average of $50 per ton. At

ed at an expense of $40 per ton, which would be
